Objective:

Research Questions:

Do you have to have add more servings of artificial sweetener to get the same level of sweetness from one serving of regular sugar?

Materials:

Sugar-free lemonade mix

Real sugar

Honey

Artificial sweetener

Three Pitchers

Long spoon for stirring

Several drinking cups or glasses

Several volunteers

Pen or pencil

Lab notebook

Poster board

Markers

Experimental Procedure

Following the directions on the lemonade mix package, mix together one pitcher of lemonade using regular sugar. Mix another pitcher of lemonade using honey. Mix a third pitcher of lemonade using artificial sweetener.

Ask 6-10 volunteers to taste each kind of lemonade. Record what each person thought of each kind of lemonade. Were they equally sweet? Were some more sweet? Were others less sweet?

If some were more or less sweet, try making new batches of lemonade using more or less sugar, honey or sweetener to taste. Ask your volunteers to taste them again. Did the adjustments make a difference? Record your observations.
